2014 VOSNE ROMANÉE DOMAINE D'EUGÉNIE - 6x75cl

Tasting Notes

• 

  Goedhuis, March 2016

  This delicious village Vosne Romanée comes from two separate parcels, Les Vigneaux in the central part of the appellation and younger vines of the superb 1er Cru Aux Brulées. Radiant purple colour, initially a little backward on the nose, but then the deep dark cherry fruit characters open out. A very fresh bright style, with hints of cocoa and dark berry on the finish, with an appealing supple mouth feel.

  The 2014 Vosne-Romanée Village, which had been racked three weeks prior to my visit and matured in three new barrels out of fourteen, is a blend of "Les Vigneux" and the bottom half of Les Brûlées augmented by the domaine's younger vines. It has a surprisingly precocious nose with black cherry and a touch of cassis fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannin, moderate acidity, quite fleshy for a 2014 with a red cherry and soy-tinged finish. Drink 2017-2024

  There is enough reduction to mask the fruit but not the subtle spice and sandalwood hints; even so I would recommend decanting this if you're going to try a bottle upon release. There is good richness to the fleshy and round middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the balanced finale where a touch of wood appears. This succulent yet sleek effort is quite forward and could easily be enjoyed young. Drink 2020+
